Pros

Commission can be good - paid the next month after sale also, this is all I can think of really

Cons

Micro-managed to a level that shouldn’t be legal Long hours with a zero-tolerance on any conversation not relating to work Aggressive sales tactics that don’t sit well with majority of prospects/clients Most colleagues are unsupportive and will throw anyone in their way under a bus Middle management are just brown-nosers to their superiors Poisonous office environment; charge their own employees for coffee and the floors are like Victorian Work houses If you’re smart, self-respecting and want a rewarding career absolutely do not work here.

Pros

You get paid at the end of the month.

Cons

The company has gone through multiple names changes to hide their terrible reputation as a Online advertising Magazine. Any measurable evidence and analytics that you'll be pitching are all made up as well as the product being a complete farce. At least 10-people leave a week for 3 main reasons - 1) They saw the light and resigned. 2) Fired for having a personality. 3)Unreachable targets wern't met. All 4star and above reviews ARE written by Managers or Recruiters. Period. Certainly not a environment to go to after leaving University if you are looking to get into Consultative sales. For anyone reading this, fresh out of uni looking to get into sales - word of Advice - This place will make you think Sales is all about Wolf of Wall street selling... - Does the biggest companies in the world use wolf of wall street selling??? the answer is a big fat NO

Pros

Hmmm... Really need to think one. Ok here are some of repetitive ones. - On time salary - Some BU heads stay cool rather its an urgent deliverable - HR trying to improve company culture and make the darker (not even dull) environment a bit tolerable. - Timely performance reviews - but of no use, as hike is given like employees are beggar - Good for a fresher to start with, but to learn secondary skills- if you're really oriented to be a market researcher- but not mend to stay for longer time.... Will tell you in CONS section why????

Cons

- Percentage hike is low, you gonna get a handsome amount only if you're good at Rappaport building with your boss. - Hard work is not appreciated, because boss feels like its just a copy paste job so he can make any learn and do research and write his analysis or opinion, with least or no business and market perspective. Wierd right!!! When a team manager doesn't feels great and value of the business he is in, how come his subordinates or followers will??? - Don't bother about hiring proper skill sets for specific domains, as I said what managers feel... - If you are really ambitious for your career in market research & consulting, I can bet you'll be shattered by your team manager and this company. - Monetary benefits- aahhhh!! is like you can manage just your petrol expenses in your increment at least. as low as 4% -10% if you're a top performer. - Some bosses and off shore team sitting in UK still consider Indians as Slaves. Your manager will say you've to do whatever they are saying, even if its illogical or Britishers backtrack on their instructions. They consider that we should have vocab and writing style like Britishers instead of formal and plain business style writing. As if its gonna be their biography,,, Bloody Morons!!! - HR feels like hiring only Telugu people more, they hardly entertain candidates form other regions. - Never believe what you Manager says, because you're definitely gonna be cheated. As usual they're not of their words but to fool employees. - Rest is up to you.
